I am a Functional Medicine Practitioner and a Certified Functional Nutritional Therapist. I help people all over the world heal by balancing their body systems. Why? Because I know what it’s like to be sick and not have answers. But I experienced healing, and you can too.
Brooke says, "I had no idea I contracted a parasite while on a trip overseas...
I wrote off my symptoms for too long and I developed serious digestive issues resulting in intestinal bleeding. Heidi was the one to find the parasite. She listened to me describe my symptoms and ran a comprehensive GI MAP. Through her recommendations, we were able to kill the parasites and then rebuild my gut—something my GI specialists were not able to do."
All body imbalances can be put into one, or maybe multiple, of the categories below. These categories are based on your symptoms. HOWEVER, in functional medicine, each category is then broken down further into digestion, neuroendocrine, and/or detox. These are the causes of your symptoms. Click on a symptom below to learn how I will help your body heal its symptoms by treating the cause.
INFERTILITY
Ovulation tests, regimented sex, fertility drugs, IVF. I want to get pregnant. Can I get pregnant?
Real people, real problems, real results. Heidi is good at what she does, but don’t take her word for it. Read her case studies and you will see how her method of listening and creating a personalized plan of action helped heal those whom Western medicine generalized and then overlooked and forgot.
Jenny
Jenny was so stressed out. Her life had a lot of potential to be great—beautiful family, happy personal life—but like all too many of us, she dreaded going to work. She had a controlling, demeaning and abusive boss, habitually making comments that embarrassed her. Her chronic stress began to create physical manifestations that increased on a daily basis.
Bridget, a twenty-seven year old nurse practitioner in a western medicine clinic, just couldn’t get pregnant. Bridget was previously diagnosed with hormone irregularities and two autoimmune disorders: Polycycstic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Graves’ disease (hyperthyroidism). She thought she had a handle on her life and body, but she still had problems getting pregnant.
Twenty-one year old Katherine walked into my office and stated she could not remember a time in her life when she did not have digestive issues or intestine problems. Her main struggles alternated between diarrhea and constipation on a daily basis. In the past nine years, she has undergone a colonoscopy procedure three separate times in hopes to determine a reason for her constant discomfort, and she also switched birth control pills five times in attempts to alleviate severe premenstrual symptoms (PMS). But nothing helped, she still felt sick almost every day.
Theresa had been leading a fairly normal life for 34 years, until she began to experience increased stress symptoms while at work, as well as fatigue, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Theresa’s primary care provider ordered multiple tests, but everything came back normal. She was prescribed the gamut of depression and anxiety medication. After many trips to the doctor and four months of psychotropic drugs, fatigue medication and mood stabilizers, she felt even worse. Theresa was being treated for her symptoms—surface level—and no one was digging deeper to find the cause of her recently onset depression.
